The store is very clean and well organized, and the gentleman behind the counter was very sweet with helping me find an out-of-print comic I was searching for. I also appreciate him giving me a comic cover/sleeve to store my purchased issue in as I wasnt sure how to ask. Its a shame I dont live in the area to come back for the next re-printed issue. I definitely recommend this place for those into comics ππΌ
In town for the week, found this shop. One of the best Ive been in and Ive been in a lot. Clean, cool, well lit...extremely well organized. Nice mix of graphic novels/new issues/bin books, as well as nice selection of wall books. Very knowledgeable staff.
Best comic book store. Knowledgeable staff. You cannot go wrong coming here for your comic book needs, wants and new ideas.
My favorite comic book shop! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and recommended me some of my favorite series and even some obscure one-shots. They also offer shoppers a chance to try something new with their themed monthly sales and healthy selection of used comics. Donβt sleep on this place!!
Everything is super organized, the guys working were helpful and knew exactly what I was looking for. I cant wait to go back and get some more comics.
NERDS UNITE!This place has every comic book imaginable and some you dont even know. Nice staff and good prices!
Called to reserve a comic for my son. Told the gentleman on the phone I would have my wife come by and grab it. When my wife arrived, with two kids full of wonder and excitement to experience all that comic books have to offer, she was treated like garbage. She was rudely informed that the comic had not yet been pulled for members, which have first dibs, and that they wouldnt be offering the rest for sale until after 5 pm, if there are any left. Information that could have easily been passed along on the initial phone call. She was then laughed at when asking about a subscription service and was given the bare minimum of details. Sexism and elitism are still alive and plentiful at FanBoy.
The staff are very polite and eager to help. If Im ever back in the area they will certainly get my business!
Very friendly staff. One member went above and beyond to help another customer while I was there. Very impressed!! Always great to visit when I can
If you are looking STRICTLY for comic books, this seems like it would be the place to go.I, unfortunately, was looking for Funko pop figures, action figures, t-shirts, and movie posters.This place doesnβt sell any of that.I asked the man behind the counter and he told me to try memory lane comics.I was able to find what I needed there. Along with a staff that actually took the time to make sure I was happy.I wonβt be coming back here.
Great knowledgeable staff.
Cashier is very knowledgeable and helped us with many questions.
These guys are amazing! We had a issue with a Wii and they were absolutely helpful. Will never buy anywhere else!
If your looking for some collectible comics, or are into comic books this is a great place. Friendly staff, clean store. Large selection
Loved it, nice, neat and peaceful store.
Their 1 dollar comics are trash need to look at them closely before buying. Over priced variant comics. All around not a good place.
Very welcoming atmosphere; Im fairly new to the comic book scene, and didnt feel overwhelmed or dumb for asking questions of the staff (they were very friendly and helpful). Theyve got a wide variety of stuff and some awesome deals. Definitely going back there when I can.
Great store, great management, great reads
I was visiting from Tennessee and I just had to give this place a peek. I loved it. Great ppl. And great atmosphere. Will be back when I come back.
As being an off again, on again comic collector, this establishment is a fans dream, no pun intended. The guys are friendly, knowledgeable and enjoy the conversations that, as comic and pulp culture enthusiasts (nerds), we often find ourselves engaged at a moments notice. Because of nature and even more importantly the environment itself. Ive begun to bring my children to Fanboy Comics because of this environment and wanting them to share in these experiences. Also, if i convert them, it will be easier to explain to my significant other why I continue to immerse myself and spend funds toward this cherished activity. My final thoughts are that if you ever want reindulge yourself in the comic/ pulp culture medium; and possibly, introduce the second generation to a passion that no longer needs to be shrouded in secrecy, this is the one . Come join us!!!
Knowledgeable staff and great selection of back issues and current titles
Great selection and amazing organization on back issues and comic sets! Staff is top notch in helping you shop. Great specials all the time, they buy your collection if u like to sell. The classic books are cool to see on display and for sale too.
Really great place for find what you are looking for. They have a ton of comic books from every age. They also do subscription service. There are also a lot of just fun comic book paraphernalia in the store you can buy. Great store!
Been a subscriber here for awhile now. Prices arent bad and they usually have discounts going on a few things. Love the atmosphere and the staff has always been great. They even take the time to note what Im currently into and make recommendations on new stuff. Best comic store in Wilmington by my assessment.
Has a good variety of things but the last time we went in, it smelt like mold. I know some places are still recovering from the hurricane but this needs to be taken care of. Not only for the sake of the employees and customers, but so merchandise doesnt get ruined.
Another great comic book store in Wilmington! Went there a couple of times to buy some back issues. They gave me the subscriber discount on them, even though I was a new customer. They had a great selection of comics in the $1 boxes. Excellent selection, great prices, and fantastic customer service makes this store a winner in my book!
Favorite local comic shop, have picked up a ton of great books new and old. With amazing weekly discounts and great events like the brown bag sale and free comic day this shop is a must visit!
Purchased a gift card as a present. The receiver could wait to use it. The transaction was easy, the quality and quantity of merchandise is excellent. This is not your one stop shop. Prepare to browse as there is much to see.
Owner is super nice and helpful!! Great selection of current issues and big selection of back issues. Even has boxes with some recent issues reduced to $1. Has good sales all year long!!
Always friendly staff, helpful and Everytime I have walked in they let you know of all special events or sales they have. Well stocked new and old comic books, graphic novels. Always friendly and pleasurable experience.
My go-to place for comics when I vacation in Wilmington. Great dollar boxes and discounted graphic novels. They also have a great vintage selection of back issues. They really seem to love their guests and they know their comic books!
Great store! The shop is well organized and there are large collections to look at. The staff is knowledgeable and respectful. The store offers cool sales events and it is definitely worth visiting.
Its always nice getting to swing by Fanboy when Im in Wilmington.They have a n impressive Silver and Bronze Age selection, as well as tons of new books, a subscription service, and a very helpful staff.Check them out!!!
Clean, well lit. Great setup and selection. Especially loved the complete comic sets for sale. Got the complete 1st edition NM run of Old Man Hawkeye for cheap.
Excellent service, great deals, high quality.
Great comic shop. Staff is friendly and knowledge.
First time comic buyer. Felt very comfortable here and the staff were extremely helpful in my search for what I would like in a comic. Bought The Killing Joke and The Watchmen and have since fallen in love with comics. The staff person who took care of my purchase threw in a few samplers for free and just from a couple minutes of talking he knew exactly what I like! I will definitely be coming back to Fanboy Comics!
These guys are super helpful and I didnt get the holier than thou vibe that Ive come to expect at a comic shop
The staff at Fanboy Comics is very helpful and friendly. They always seem to have some sale going, and they have a decent amount of back issues. My favorite part, as always, is the dollar boxes.This is one of my required stops when I visit Wilmington. Make sure you check them out!
Excellent source for comics. Staff is very knowledgeable and will happily make suggestions when asked. Gift certificates. Subscriber boxes are another jewel.
Amazing selection, knowledgeable staff. Was fun perusing. Too bad I didnt have more money!
Thomas and Jackson know their stuff. Kind of funny how someone can take comics seriously but those into the experience definitely know what Im talking about. Great ideas for the BIG BANG THEORY friends in your life for the holidays too.
Helpful staff, great on new comics selection. Very good back issue selection
Very nice to my 8yo son and helpful
This is a good comic shop, Thomas is always friendly and greets you when you walk in and lets you know of any special sales that he has going on. If hes not there the staff always friendly and give you the same kind greeting.
Tons of great comics, I could sit in there all day!! I try and swing by anytime Im down from Clayton.
Awesome store. Great selection, great staff. Like a comic store from the 90s!
I love this comic book store, it was my first time there and I felt at home, like a kid in a candy store. And I will definitely be back soon. :) :)
Amazing comic book selection and exteremly helpful staff. They offer a subscription box that allows you to have your favorites pulled as soon as they come in.
Friendly staff, periodic deals, good store layout. They make a point of not throwing away leftover comics, instead selling them super cheap which I love because it allows me to find hidden gems.
Huge selection of books and great staff!
